recent photographic work – was exhibited in Paris, Amsterdam and London. Style Lepage is a great admirer of the painters Albrecht Dürer, Diego Velázquez, Kandinsky, Picasso and Braque, and his photographs reflect his love for painting. Working with large format film cameras, Lepage's photography is produced on a knife's edge. His hands-on in the gelatine, like a paintbrush in oil and pigments, the photographer reconstructs the body's anatomy, cutting the negative to build a new, multiple image. From these cut, multiplied, recomposed faces and bodies, a complex identity suddenly rises to the surface. The character's individuality emerges and creates an oscillatory wave that disturbs the peaceful surface of the image, causing it to waver between seduction and repulsion, sophistication and brutality. These images, with their stripped-back composition, are inhabited by strangely motionless beings, suspended in their own time and space; while lost in their dreams and thoughts, they meander through a land where the imaginary world of the photographer, the character and viewer's imagination project and come together.
